View from La Fontenelle
Highlight • Viewpoint
It's hard to believe that brutal trench warfare took place here in 1914/15.
Today, the landscape offers a peaceful view of meadows and forests.

Trail of the Hamlets Fallen for France – La Fontenelle
Highlight • Historical Site
Here are buried some French soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield of Hill 627, as the military name goes, defending France against the German invaders in the First World War.
There are several paths here, including around the old battlefield. The shortest way is about 600 meters long and also suitable for wheelchairs. There are some information boards with photos from the period 1914/15, when a cruel trench warfare took place here, which also killed three hamlets that were never rebuilt. At the car park there are large information boards in three languages (French, English and German).
Ancient trenches and fortified positions can still be found throughout the area. Unfortunately, also ammunition that did not detonate and can therefore pose a great danger to the curious person. Take care of your children and leave any finds lying around.
Here is some information in German: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fontenelle
